(Nevan) The Tragically Hip

Gotta go out and say it, thank you CBC for airing that Tragically Hip concert. Seriously they interrupted Olympic coverage during what would be seen as primetime to air a concert commercial free. I can’t honestly picture to many companies doing that especially during the Olympics which cost you billions to secure the rights for. It’s also something that we probably won’t run into again. There aren’t too many artists out there that people would demand and petition to have a concert aired on national television. I actually started kicking around names not just for Canada but for the States as well on who they could either do this again for or could’ve done it for. Not too many names spring up either for the future or even in the past. The idea of airing an entire concert commercial free with no benefit to the broadcasters out side of may be good PR would be such a turn off it’d never happen. So thanks to CBC for doing what many probably wouldn’t.
